Legions: Overdrive is a "spiritual successor" to Tribes, borrowing gameplay elements from the series such as skiing and jetpacks. It's completely free and supports modding, user-hosted servers and more. It originally started out as Fallen Empire: Legions on InstantAction, but has since been renamed to Legions: Overdrive and is available to play for free at legionsoverdrive.com.

Legions: Overdrive is being updated today (March 3, 2014) with the following additions:

Clients with Demo Reconnect enabled will not reconnect if the map switch happens under 1 minute into the round.

Whiteout has been reduced by roughly 15%.

Players who grab the flag with Dodge Core are now displayed properly in chat.

A new 'Refresh LAN' button is now available on the main server browser screen for easy LAN connecting.

Healing teammates with the Regen Core now gives you six points for each person healed. Healing the same player within 20 seconds will not result in any points.

Warp Core now does a maximum of 30 damage.

EMP grenades now disable other players' cores based on how close the explosion is to them. The closer an EMP grenade lands near a player, the longer it will disable their core. The maximum amount of time a core can be disabled is 2 seconds (within 5 meters of the player), while the minimum is 0.5 seconds (maximum distance of 20 meters).

Players can now invert their mouse from the in-game menu, as opposed to manually editing their configuration file.

Some echo-spam console cleanup and tweaks for stats*.

*Stats have been temporarily disabled while a few bugs get ironed out. There will be a post when they are back, though!

This is one of the fastest games you will play. The learning curve is very steep if you have never played a FPS-Z before. The legions forums are a great place to ask questions or find videos if you are feeling discouraged. Peak hours to find full servers are about 6PM - 11PM EST.
